I assume the engine is stock, no mods? Any codes or lights? May be fuel pump or bad gas.

is it a stick shift? Check your pushrods. If you have some bent you may have bent valves also.
Most important do a leak down.
You have to have ,spark,fuel and compression to fire. If one of these is lacking you will have no fire or misfires if it is just lacking a little.
